Kanye West — Touch the Sky Live at Abbey Road Studios

[Chorus: Kanye West] Ho! I gotta testify Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky I gotta testify Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky [Verse 1: Kanye West] Back when they thought pink Polos would hurt the Roc Before Cam got the shit to pop The doors was closed I felt like Bad Boy's street team: I couldn't work the locks Now let's go, take 'em back to the plan Me and my momma hopped in that U-Haul van Any pessimists, I ain't talk to them Plus I ain't have no phone in my apart-a-ment, uh Let's take 'em back to the club Least about an hour I stand on line I just wanted to dance, I went to Jacob an hour After I got my advance, I just wanted to shine Jay favorite line: "Dawg, in due time!" Now he look at me, like, "Damn, dawg! You where I am!" A hip-hop legend I think I died in that accident, ‘cause this must be Heaven [Chorus: Kanye West] Uh, I gotta testify Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky Oh! We gotta testify Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly 'Fore the day we die, we gon' touch the sky [Post-Chorus: Kanye West] Now let's take 'em high (Top of the world, baby, top-top of the world!) Everybody take 'em high (Top of the world, baby, top-top of the world!) Now let's take 'em high (Top of the world, baby, top-top of the world!) Now let's take 'em high (Top of the world, baby, top-top of the world!) [Verse 2: Kanye West] Back when Gucci was the shit to rock Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop I'd do anything to say I got it Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket Before anybody wanted K. West beats Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC Dog, I was havin' nervous breakdowns Like, "Man, these niggas that much better than me?" Baby, I'm goin' on an aeroplane And I don't know if I'll be back again Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets But when she came to kick it, things became different Girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on Couldn't keep it at home, thought I needed a Nia Long I'm tryin' to right my wrongs But it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song [Chorus: Kanye West] Now, I gotta testify Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly Yeah, 'fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky You gon' touch the sky, baby girl, testify Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly 'Fore the day you die, Lupe, touch the sky Uh, uh, uh [Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco & Kanye West] Yes, yes, yes, guess who's on third? Lupe steal like Lupin the 3rd (Uh-huh) Here like ear 'til I'm beer on the curb (Yeah) Peachfuzz buzz but beard on the verge Let's slow it down like we're on the syrup Bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth (Uh) But, before you say another word I'm back on the block like I'm layin' on the street I'm tryna stop lyin' like I'm Mumm-Ra But I'm not lyin' when I'm layin' on the beat, en garde Or touché, Lupe cool as the unthawed But I still feel possessed as a gun charge (Yeah) To come as correct as a porn star In a fresh pair steps in my best foreign car So, I represent the first Now let me end my verse right where the horns are, like uh [Chorus: Lupe Fiasco & Kanye West] You gotta testify Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly (C'mon, c'mon, c'mon) 'Fore the day you die (What?), you gon' touch the sky You gon' touch the sky, baby girl Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly (What?
